Antipaladin is the living- for now -example why you should always invest into knowledge skills like Heraldry or Genealogy when available.
Especially if your power and or status depend on it.

Sure, other skills might be more immediately useful, but when the situation inevitably arrives you will regret not having them- just like our friend Antipaladin.

Also, regarding the dice I'm very much with Thief.
Sure, a fancy die is nice- to look at.
But if you actually want to use them?
Quantity has a quality on its own.

Loosing one is less tragic for one.
And if one of them rolls badly the following demonstration for the others can be much more... drastic.

Forget the dice prison. It's execution time.
